Everyday we all face the challenges of life. No matter how big or small, it can be harrowing. We all have different strengths, different thresholds, different needs. Let's give grace to everyone around us, and make life a little easier for all.

Graceless and wretched Each day brings a new low point Just fucking stop it

Reckless and rampant Without care or empathy Thine horrid gender

The lights and ornaments bring me joy. May you find your joy, and peace, during the coming holidays.

I don’t ever want to let humanity down.

May you find the paths that soothe your soul, and help you live in peace and comfort.

Just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I’m not listening.

I hope you walk into a room and remember exactly why you did.

“The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee ….”

Sci-fi is my first love, but I do like fantasy, too. It's been a while though. A dear friend passed along "The Bone Ships" by RJ Barker as a recommendation. Only 50 pages read and I'm all in. #books #fantasy

Two days of rest to soothe our souls. If only the chores would do themselves. Wish it was easier to find the bits of joy and peace, but at least they are still there.

May you have a gentle and relaxing weekend ✌🏻

I think they call it a "break", because if you don't take it, you will break.

The dubious trio Fate, destiny, and luck They’ve thwarted my heart I do concede that it may be bad choices My own damned fault I’ve surrendered nonetheless To their false course, or the path I paved I will live it, and still love But a love for my fellow humans For peace for our brethren

Just because someone wants something from you, doesn't mean you have to give it. You are under no obligation but the one to yourself.

I hope you forgive yourself for doing what you needed to survive.

Hope the new month and approaching holiday season is kind to you.

The vicious tricks of one’s mind are unapologetic when fatigue is at its highest.

Restless. And breathless. Utterly tired, to my mental bones. It passes. Just too damned slow.

The forest teaches me to fall apart with grace. To shed what no longer serves, to stand bare in winter and still believe in spring. Maybe imperfection isn’t a flaw; maybe it’s the language of being alive

May your dark days become brighter, and remain so, always.

Please slow down October. Don’t pass by so fast.

Librarians are cool af.

I wake ravenous Yearning for food for my soul Alas not sated #scotttriespoetry

Been an avid reader since my late teens. Doing the math ... that's just short of 40 years. Read many types of books (95% novels), but I always cycle back to science fiction. These are a random set of four that I really enjoyed. #books #reading #sciencefiction #scifi

Four horsemen stride forth Brimstone heavy in the air Darkness impales me #myfirsthaiku #scotttriespoetry

You are not weird. Or strange. Or odd. Let’s strive to normalize our differences and uniqueness. You are you, and that’s all you have to be.

A kid handing you a book & asking you to read it to them is the same as being knighted. Like of course. It’s an honor to serve you, m’lord

Rainy autumn days are made for tea and reading.

I’d like to send my sincerest thanks to Cheez-Itz for helping me get through so many work days.

I've been rather focused on myself lately thanks to that thing called life. Here is a reminder for y’all. You're awesome, we believe in you, and we're happy you exist. ✌🏻❤️

A mid-life crisis, but it’s all about reading books and learning to make different styles of homemade pizza.

Word!

I will always stand up against bullying, especially for our LGBTQ+ kids. They need to know it's safe to be exactly who they are. And that we love and accept them all. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜 #SpiritDay

I don't know exactly what any of you have gone through. But I know heartbreak and loss. And I wish for you all to find more light and peace amongst the dark and aching days ahead.

I love autumn.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay.. We can't always see what others are struggling with, so please be kind. Know that you are not alone. That there is help and there is hope. Never feel ashamed for what you're going through. You are loved and you belong. 💙

You may feel worn down by the world, Feel like you're flailing your way from one thing to the next. But don't forget .... there is something extraordinary about you.

I hope you are always accepted for who you are with gratitude and grace.
